“Just a mile from City Hall . . . an earthly paradise for the business and working man,” “away from the dust of the city, with a lovely view of the ocean and woodland,” “the most beautiful residential section of Beverly . . .” All words used to describe Ryal Side. In this second feature of the Ryal Side series, join us on a 1.8 mile walk through central-western Ryal Side as we delve into the particulars of how this rural gem of western Beverly developed into one of the city’s finest suburbs. Along the way, you will see some of the true old summer cottages of Beverly, learn about the people who built and moved here, and take in some of the institutions that they created and nurtured. See you there!
